J.Crew Merino Chiffon-Placket Cardigan – Size XXS

…button placket and neckline, and come in the usual beautiful colors that J.Crew does so well. Seriously…I think J.Crew has some of the best colors ever. Buttoned in my favorite “X” shape, the sweater looks casually drapey, but I wish the torso were slimmer. This is a size xxs, and you can see the extra fabric folds in the photos above, and take a look at how baggy the torso looks from behind… Oh J.Crew…why won’t you make your lovely cardigans in p…

Petite Dress Form

…not in any size even remotely close to my measurements. In fact, the only petite dress form I’ve ever seen with my measurements was this one that Petite XXS bought last year. But I didn’t want a modern sewing form…I wanted as close to a vintage style as I could get. So my search continued… Then, while surfing the web one day, I happened to stumble upon this: Female Petite Dress Form from The Classic Collection Clothing Forms. Size 0/1. The petite…

Petite Hangers For Narrow Shouldered Wardrobes

…Walnut :: Petite Top Hanger in Natural :: Petite Suit Hanger in Natural :: Petite Top Hanger in Walnut :: Petite Suit Hanger in Walnut I contacted Only Hangers and they were very generous to send me some hangers to play with. My shirts and blazers measure between 13″ and 14″ in the shoulder, so the junior 14″ hanger was a better fit for my wardrobe. Here’s a comparison of the much better fitting 14″ hanger (I chose the walnut color) to the velvet…

…At this point in my life, I certainly can’t afford a high-end designer wardrobe, but I would love the option to buy a few special pieces in petite proportions that would hopefully not need invasive alterations. A girl can dream… Is there a retail market for high-end designer petite sizes? Would you splurge on high-end designer items if they came in petites?

Review: J.Crew Petite Schoolboy Blazer in Wool Flannel

…y mind, and their current blazer offerings are quite boring. Here enters J.Crew. Just look at those details! I’m completely smitten with those buttons, and adore the inside ticket and lipstick pockets. Fully lined, reinforced buttons, and working sleeve buttons are other great details. There’s even a chest pocket for pocket squares (he he). The fabric is a thin and soft wool flannel, which is perfect for most seasons here in Southern California. H…

Petite Fit Guide: Improper Fit of a Juniors Top on a Petite Woman

…obes. While shopping in juniors departments can yield a lot of success for petite women, there are things to look out for and avoid. Teen styles tend to be super trendy and youthful, which is dangerous for petite women who don’t want to get lost in a group of junior high schoolers on the street. Teen styles also tend to be made cheaply, with short lives, since teenagers are fickle creatures who will get bored and throw away their clothes rather qu…

…very well, which is a positive sign that BR will continue to expand their petite line. Petite Kaleidescope Top I was lucky enough to snag the above silk top in petite XXS before it sold out online, and let me just say I am very excited about this new size. As I reviewed in my earlier post about Banana Republic petite silk tops, the PXS has always fit about 1-2 sizes too large on me. Well, when this baby arrived in the mail, I couldn’t wait to try…
